The trivial losses sustained by THE TRIBUSE's
tenants from Sundays fire worthy of comment.
On the fifth floor the sash of a window overlooking
the burning roof was charred; and on the fourth
floor the flames were communicated TO window
frame, desk aud one or two chairs. The flames
got in at the most xposed point. whore few feel
away an inflammabe roof was roaring like fur
mace. The iron shutters were drawn down. but
owing to the intense heat thew bee anne warped and
let in the flames. Walls, ceilings and parti-
tons were of brick and cement and con-
seauent]y were indestructiblc. The fire soon
burned itself out in tho lower roo and the adjoin-
ing offices were not disturbed; and in tho upper
floor the flames did not get beyond the window.
he losses sustained are Insignificant.
There was similar test of the fre-proof charac-
tor of The TRIBUNE Building when it was in
course Of erection. rubbish heap of shavings
and inflammable material caught fire and hole
was burned in the floor The flames could not
spread in any direction and we've speedily
extingushed. There was nothing except the rub
bush to burn In the place where the fire started.
and indestructibe barriers confined the flames to
a single room Tho effect was the Same sun
day morning when the shutters cracking under
white heat from without let in tho flames The
window trimming and Office furniture LII the most
exposed room alone suffered; and possibly even
this damage might have been avoided IL the
shutter had not been forced open. The rooms
either side were absolutely unframed. A iire-proof
building when properly construc, cd and protected
offers perfect guarantee Of safety to tenants on
every floor.

New-Brunswick, had followed the suspension of tho
Maritime Bank. Gully. Drumming Wool Samuel
schofeld Mcclellan & Blair and Guy Bevan 4 Co. Later
information from St John shows that the announce.

The firm has not failed.
With reference to the reports that boys used by
r. A. J. stewart and Guy Bcvan Co. ndorscrs to
give currency their exchange in the NewYork and
Canadian markets. The Montreal Ga:eie says: I've are
informed that no exchange OF either firm was ever
offered sold with any other Endorsement than that OF

sale of oleomargarine will cease altogether in
this State. A score or two of dealers and
manufacturers walked up to the bar of justice
yesterday and paid fines amounting in all to
$4,70O. This was done ON the advice OF
counsel. who informed the unhappy law
breakers that the last Court OF Appeals de-
cision left them no chance Of escape. 1t
matters not whether they sold the bogus
butter for what it was or lied about 1t.
They should not have sold II at all. this
incident ought to mark the beginning of the
end of frauds in foodin New York City. Public
opinion will sustain even extreme measures
calculated to stop adulteratiOn of all kinds.
The recent rumor that the Afghan boundary
questions between England and Russia had
been settled by mutual concessions, does not
appear to be confirmed by the later news from
Afghanistan. Everything there indicates a
Russian advance. The local rulers throughout
The whole country arc agitated, and the heads
of suspected Russian agents are being cut off.
That this state of affairs does not disquiet
diplomatic circles in Europe is probably due to
The unsettled condition Of things in the Bal
kans. Until Russia plainly gives up all in
tcntion of advancing in that neighborhood OBJ
servers will be slow to conclude that the Car
Hesires trouble elsewhere.
The most serious labor trouble in the coun-
Try at present is the strike Of the iron moulders
in the region extending from st. Louis to
Pittsburg. In most of the large places within
these limits the men went out yesterday.
About 5000 moulders are involved. The
trouble is Of the sympathetic kind which has
come into fashion of late, and is intended to
prevent the use of patterns made by boy
cotted firm in st. Louis. Apparently it will be

stock on hand, and arc determined to vindicate
their right to make whatever contracts, and

The friends of the Normal College, finding
that the rule requiring a unanimous vote of
the Board of Estimate and Apportionmcnt to
approve an appropriation interferes with their
plans, now ask the Legislature to let a ma
4ority vote Suffice Naturally their bill eScites
much opposition. The Normal College is an
excellent institution, and public opinion is
decidedly in favor of handsome support for it.
But it seems hardly worth while to meddle with
the rules of the Board of Estimate. because
for one year or even two the college appropn-
htaon is somewhat limited. It is rare that
money which Is absolutely necessary is not
not voted unanimously.

he was forced to decline.
Mr.. Hubbard informed the reporter that
the company expected to prove the posi-
blllty of carrying on conversation by tele-
phone over distance of a thousand miles,
and arrangements looking to that end are
now being made. He did not believe it
would be impossible to talk across the Allan

the two hemispheres at such a tremendous
outlay as to render it impracticable by rea
son of its cost.
